Is your Upline Hi-Jacking YOUR business?

I was talking to a friend this week who was telling me about his experience with his upline and sponsor and I was horrified at what he shared with me.
When he joined that business he told his upline and sponsor that he would not work the business full time and that he would be putting his other business first. He made it very clear that this would be something that he would work “around” his business that was his solitary income source and around his small family.
Despite all of that they continued to call him weekly and daily asking him who he had talked to and if he was coming to the meeting with a prospect. They would show up at his house and inflict high pressure meetings with him and his wife, telling them that they needed to get babysitters and take more time to build the business. They even had the nerve to tell him he needed to take more time off of work so his wife could work the business and “in just a few years he would be a stay at home dad!”
He had absolutely no desire to be a stay at home dad.
That was their objective not his. They had completely disregarded his wants and needs and looked at him not as a person but as means to their goal.

I see this all the time- people being used as stepping stones for someone else to reach their goals. That is not what the Network Marketing business model was designed to accomplish. It is designed to help individuals achieve personal and financial freedom by working “with” not “for” other like minded people. People who work synergistically towards common goals that in due course reach individual destinations.

People want to work with people who care about their wants, needs and goals, people who are sincere and have honest intent to help them.
NO one likes being taken advantage off or "used"!

Appreciate the people in your life and business- that will attract more of the right kinds of people to you and your business.

Tell us what kind of people you want to attract to your business….
